Explore a world of luxury as we reveal the most coveted products that are gaining popularity among fashionable and elite individuals worldwide. This thoughtfully curated collection offers something for everyone, whether you’re a perfume enthusiast, a fashion lover, or a watch collector.


Rasei Fort Oud Cavaran fragrance

The Oud Cavaran fragrance by perfumer Rasei Fort takes inspiration from the famed caravans crossing the world’s greatest sea of sand. Swaying camels and shifting dunes in the Arabian Desert inspire a distinct signature of aromatic oud, wood and leather. This spicy, oriental composition provides an olfactive journey worthy of the Bedouin, whose tales have long been forgotten. Exclusively available from Scented Niche at K11 Musea, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 2608 2205, and Fashion Walk, Causeway Bay, tel: 2608 2206.


Cartier Baignoire watch

Cartier first created the Baignoire watch in 1912 with a rectangular case rounded at the ends like a bathtub. The concept continued to evolve until 1958, with a so-called ‘curved oval’ watch. With its Roman numerals and curved crystal, this timeless model is now available in two new versions. The first celebrates pure elegance, with a ‘less is more’ approach. For the second, the emblematic oval is transformed into a bangle, a circle of gold – whether rose, yellow or paved with diamonds – to be slipped onto the wrist.


Harry Winston Forget-Me-Not collection

American jeweller Harry Winston spent his famed career reimagining nature’s splendour with the world’s most magnificent gemstones – a tradition that continues to this day. One of the most popular flowers in the brand’s bejewelled garden is the effervescent Forget-Me-Not. The Harry Winston designers have reimagined this captivating wildflower in an enchanting perennial collection of delicate jewellery. Nature’s beauty is expressed through round brilliant, pear-shaped and marquise diamonds.


Rado’s True Thinline x Gardens of the World collection

Since Rado and the Great Gardens of the World organisation began their collaboration in 2017, a whole new range of natural textures and shapes has found its way into the watchmaker’s work. Now, elements from three quite different plants bring visual rhythm to three individual dial designs for the True Thinline x Gardens of the World collection. Crafted in monobloc high-tech ceramic, Chapter 8 unites a polished black case with a matching dial; Chapter 9 is a brilliant white reflection of the monkey puzzle tree; and Chapter 10 depicts branches of the dragon blood tree in plasma grey.


Christian Louboutin’s Froufrou Alta platform sandals

Inspired by the flamenco tradition of Andalucia, the Flamencaba limited-edition capsule collection from Christian Louboutin embodies savoir-faire, passion and female empowerment. Requiring a high level of technical skill and an abundance of crepe satin, the Froufrou Alta platform sandals with 150mm heels are embellished with layered frills and a cascading ruffle. With a handcrafted oversized rose atop the toe, Sevillana lamé uppers, delicate straps and a 100mm stiletto heel, the Flora Queen sandals make an elegant standout on dance floors.


Blue Heart Crème de la Mer

The same combination of skin-soothing sea-sourced ingredients that powered La Mer ultra-rich cream to fame now come in a chic collectible jar. Limited-edition Blue Heart Crème de la Mer brings delight inside and out as the regeneration force of giant sea kelp leaves ripples on the exterior. Its contents offer daily moisturising and the promise of skin firming, uplifting and natural renewal.


Laura Mercier High Vibe Lip Colour

From acclaimed makeup artist Laura Mercier comes High Vibe Lip Colour. Presented in a sleek, sophisticated rose-gold tube, this modern, high-resolution pigment immediately amps up lips. Choose from 10 striking coats of colour with light-reflecting vivid pearls to boost vibrancy. The new lipstick is also infused with guava oil, ensuring moisturising all-day wear and a melting sensation as it kisses the lips.


Glenfiddich 12-Year-Old Sherry Cask Finish single malt whisky

Glenfiddich is the world’s most awarded single malt Scotch whisky brand. Ranging from the signature 12-Year-Old expression to rare, vintage and limited-edition bottles, its whisky is renowned worldwide for quality and consistency. This special edition 12-Year-Old Sherry Cask Finish single malt has matured for many years in American and European oak casks before finishing in Amontillado Sherry casks for a distinctively rich and refined depth of flavour.


Drop d’Issey Eau de Parfum Fraîche

Evoking fragrant blossoms in pools of water, A Drop d’Issey Eau de Parfum Fraîche is the new opus from Issey Miyake. It captures the journey of a raindrop in springtime from the moment it falls from the clouds. Each droplet reveals the facets of all the elements it encounters – grass, flowers, wood and more – for an uplifting and refreshing sensory experience. Designed by Todd Bracher, the distinctive drop-shaped flaçon similarly reflects nature in hues that graduate from blue to green.


Anya Hindmarch Raffia Drawstring Small Tote

The summer season has arrived and Anya Hindmarch has released a bag designed for the sunny holiday months. The Raffia Drawstring Small Tote moves from a casual picnic in the park to an elegant event around town with consummate ease. Lightweight and airy, the woven raffia is gathered together at the top by a leather drawstring trimmed with the London designer’s signature tassels – these smooth leather contrasts come in a choice of striking electric blue, chalk or golden hues.


Narciso Rodriguez For Her Forever

American fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez has worked to uncover and enhance each woman’s inner beauty and sense of self. For Her Forever is a new scent introduced to commemorate the 20th anniversary of his popular perfume range. It continues the tradition of the house’s musk-centric scents with a brilliant new version of the unmistakable olfactory signature, paying forceful homage to the legendary For Her collection.
